No Sound from iPod, Tried Everything

Hi Guys,
Any suggestions on what to do? About two weeks ago I would try to turn it on, got the green light, but no sound was coming out of it. (Trust me, it's not because I needed to turn the volume up
I've tried just about everything that there is to try. I'm using a 2.0 USB, so a slow USB port isn't the issue; Windows and iTunes recognizes the iPod. I've reset it many times; reformatted it, updated the iPod software, restored 3 times, reinstalled iTunes, and after all this it is still a no go.
Any other recommendations before I turn this in to get fixed/replaced?

I am having the same problem. I used itunes to put an audio book from audible on the shuffle, but the book will not play on the shuffle. I tried putting other things i.e. music from CD, music downloaded from itunes, none of it will play on the shuffle. When I press the play button the shuffle the green light comes on briefly (as long as the play button is depressed) and then goes out. No sound at all comes from the shuffle. When I plug the shuffle into the USB and look at what is on the shuffe using itunes, itunes shows the audio book and music are on the shuffle, when I press play using itunes, the music will play. I am completely frustrated! If anyone has answers please help!

HT3798 no sound from IPod 5 generation but plays songs

no sound from IPod 5 generation but plays songs

Assuming your earphones are in good condition, the iPod battery is fully charged and you are not trying to play very high quality music.(not HE-AAC), when was the last time you played any music on your iPod?
Try this if you haven't yet.
Reset the iPod - Press the Menu and center button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, release the buttons, select your preferred Language.
Play your music.
Good Luck!

Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

Sound from iPod Touch

Hi,
I just got an ipod Touch but it wasn't clear in the features guide whether the ipod touch is suppose to give out music sound without the earphones.
In the settings, it gives the option to choose either speaker, earphones or both.
So seeing that options, i chose speaker option assuming i will hear the music without the earphones. But i didn't hear any sound from the ipod touch when playing music tracks.
Am i suppose to hear music sound from ipod touch or is the speaker option for external speakers connecting to the ipod touch?
i'm worried my ipod touch is faulty.

The ONLY way to get sound from the IT is with either a headset or external speakers plugged into the audio out jack.
Unless you turn on the sound for the internal speaker, which is actually a transducer to give small alarm beeps. It won’t play music/audio.
From the iPod touch user manual, page 78.
*“Turn sound effects on or off*
Choose General > Sound Effects and select whether you want sound effects to play
over _*the internal speaker*_, through the headphones, or both.”

PROBLEM - no sound from ipod

Ipod displays playing music, but no sound. Tried several different headsets. Music plays from itunes from ipod just fine.

Its def the logic board. I called Apple customer service and the woman I spoke to basically told me I was S* out of luck. She told me because the IPod is so "old" (if 5 years if really old) that they would have to special order parts and that it would cost upwards of $129 to fix.
I told her I could buy a new Ipod for less than that and owning other Apple products I am suprised to hear that they do not garuntee their products. It's blows my mind that I have old discman's, I am talk about 10-15 years old, that with a new set of Double A batteries, would work fine. However, when I asked if they could replace this product, not being damaged and minor blemishes on the exterior from its case, she responded no, that it's out of waruntee.
So I then asked her, can I expect for my Apple products to just crap the bed every three to four years and she said, "Sir, the only thing I can tell you is that your 30G Ipod Video is out of waruntee." I LITERALLY left this bad boy in my car for the 5 years I have had it in the cool glvoe box. I listened to it solely in my car becuase my Alpine deck has an attachment. This is garbage and Apple won't help you....well they will, but they will charge you an arm and a leg.

ITunes won't recognise my iPod. tried everything!

hmm...yes, well...
i reformatted my computer a couple of weeks ago..i backed up all my music on an external hard drive. the whole process was absolutely painless until i tried to sync my 5th gen 60gb iPod to my recovered itunes library. if iTunes (7) is running and i plug in the iPod, iTunes freezes for a while, unfreezes, and then...does nothing. if i close itunes at this point and then reopen it, it doesn't appear for about 7 minutes then appears and syncs my iPod perfectly! further problems occur when i try to eject it, however...it causes iTunes to freeze alltogether which leaves me with no other choice but to end the programme. I've tried everything i can think of...i ran the "iPod diagnostics" and it gives a green light on the first three tests and then a red on the "iPod connection status". i've tried everything on the help page the diagnostics screen leads me to (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716) and nothing has had any effect. i've also tried restoring the iPod but that also causes iTunes to freeze! please help..
PS. apologies for incoherence and computer ineptitude..

ITunes does not detect iPhones/iPods - tried everything

Okay, so 2 months ago I got my new Macbook Pro 17". iTunes wouldn't detect my iphone or any other iphone. I tried everything suggested on these forums (hopefully not true), but couldn't get it to work. I gave up and was hoping some sort of itunes update would solve it. Well itunes has been updated and even the OS has been updated to Snow Leopard. It didn't help
I am willing to try anything you suggest, so please keep them coming. Really want to get this sorted now.
Thanks so much for all your help.

Great to hear you have resolved the problem. I am running Tiger 10.4.7 not your 10.6.1 which I beleive is Leopard which I cannot update to as my computer is not suitable. Have you heard if anyone with my OS version has had success. I have tried removing iTunes v9 and then downloading v8.2.1, however I am still unable to gat iTunes to open when I connect my iPhone and iTunes does not acknowledge the connection in the side bar.
Suggestions please.

(weird sound from ipod

2) the other thing is that when i am using the ipod i can hear sounds coming out from the back of it. the sound is very similar to the computer cpu sound and the cdrom drive sound (but slightly lower in volume). i can't hear the sound when the i am listening to music with the earpiece on(cause the music volume is louder). the sound is quite disturbing. (PS the click wheel sound is off.)
3) i was charging the ipod with a charger yesterday. its fully charged in less then an hour. after charging, i used the ipod continuously for abt 4 hours and the battery level went down by almost half. what wrong with it? i thought fully charged batt can last up to 30h for ipod classic 80g?
can someone help? thanks in advance. : )

1. Not sure. Stuff happens.
2. Is this just the whirr of the hard drive/click of the heads as it reads data? It should settle down once it has read the file you are playing into memory.
3. The iPod battery meter is a bit eratic. When charging the display will show full after about an hour which is when the the battery has been fast charged to about 80% of max. charge. To achieve max. charge takes about 4 hours. During playback the level of the charge displayed seems to vary up & down depending on what you're doing so I don't pay it too much attention. Battery life will depend on how much time the screen is active - e.g. playing videos, backlight timeout settings & brightness, how much you use the menus etc. I haven't yet managed to make mine run out before I get home at night...

Slightly fuzzy sound from iPod Classic?

So my 5ish year old 160gB iPod Classic has started to have slightly fuzzy sound output, it's less noticeable with rap music, but quite apparent with everything else. It's not unbearably fuzzy, but enough to bug the s*** out of me. And it's not my headphones. I tried cleaning out the headphone jack and got some lint and fuzz out, but it didn't really help. If I took this to an Apple store would they be able to do anything about it? Because I'm super scared about anything happening to this iPod-- it has over 25,000 songs on it, some of which I don't have access to anymore, so I don't want to lose anything.
Thanks

TS2090 Apple TV mirroring - sound problem. Tried everything. It's ****.

I'm feeling totally exasperated. I've tried every 'solution' to the inherent Apple TV mirroring sound problem. Why don't Apple just fix it?? All I want to do is be able to view my computer video with sound when i want to. I don't feel that I should have to spend up to and over an hour trying repeated combinations of turning things on and off, entering code into Terminal, etc. EVERY TIME THAT I TRY TO MIRROR THROUGH APPLE TV. It's ridiculous, aside from the cost of buying the unit, I had to upload Mountain Lion despite the fact that my new (Early 2012) imac should have been on spec. That took hours and it still doesn't work. Very dissappointed, Apple have lost my brand loyalty for such an obviously fixable thing. ( I don't think that they read these comments). hope this makes you think twice before buying. Yours, m

I found a fix for this problem thanks to a friend of mine who I can only assume did a little research online!!
The problem I had was having AirParrot once installed, and after the recent 10.9.2 update, the third party app messed up the way Mirroring was working..
Here is the fix:
1. Open Terminal in /Applications/Utilities.
2. Run these commands respectively:
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext
sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext
This will uninstall kernel extensions related to AirParrot. Other solutions around the web being posted are missing the extensions within /Library/Extensions.
3. Enter your administrative password when prompted.
4. Restart your computer.
I tried it once again and it worked like a dream!!!
Here is the article for reference:

Many Thanks for all who tried to help, and especially Wasim!!
Hope this helps anyone with the same problem in the future!!
